About Our Shelter...

We are a part of Pitt County Government and have to house all of the unwanted animals in Pitt County. Our adoption hours are from 1pm-5:00 pm Monday-Friday and on Saturdays from 11am-4:00pm

Most Saturdays dogs are taken to the local PetCo store for adoption from 12-5 pm! And we DO NOT intake animals on weekends. Please call to schedule weekday animal dropoffs.

Our Adoption Process...

We offer a very simple adoption process. All animals MUST be spayed/neutered before going home with the adopter! All of our dogs are vaccinated with DHPP and Bordetella vaccine upon entry to our shelter. Dogs and puppies have an adoption fee of $110. Cats and kitten have an adoption fee of $85. If the animal is already altered at the time of adoption, they will have a reduced adoption fee and you will be able to take the pet home with you that day. If the animal is not altered at the time of adoption, then we hold the pet overnight and take them to our vet the next business day to be spayed or neutered. The adopter will then pick the pet up from our vets office that afternoon. Pets that are adopted Thursday through Saturday will not be able to be spayed/neutered until the following Monday, and the adopter would pick the pet up that Monday Afternoon. Dogs have a scheduled pick up time of 2:00p.m. on the day of their surgery, while cats are scheduled to be picked up at 4:00p.m. All pets MUST be picked up from the vets office by the adopter no later than 5:00p.m. on the day of their surgery.

*** The animals listed on our website with Names are available for adoption now. While the pets with just ID Numbers are still on stray hold and should be available soon. Please call us if you have questions about any of the pets in our shelter. ***
